At-home Pap test to improve cervical screening in rural areas
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at using a self-collected Pap test (a sample you collect yourself) to help people get routine cervical cancer screening. It may help improve screening rates, especially for those in rural areas where getting to a clinic can be harder.

This trial studies whether letting people collect their own HPV test sample (a private, at-home option) makes cervical cancer screening easier for people with HIV and/or those who are often underserved. If you’ve declined a Pap test or it’s been 6+ months since your last screening, this may offer a more convenient way to check for HPV and cervical cancer risk.
This study looks at whether a home self-sampling swab can help people who haven’t joined cervical cancer screening in the past few years. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to collect a swab yourself so it can be tested, aiming to make screening easier to access.
This trial tests whether giving women a self-collection kit to test for HPV at home can help catch cervical cancer early. It is for people who are overdue for screening and have access to a smartphone and the internet.
This trial tests if women can collect their own samples at home to check for HPV, a virus that can cause cervical cancer. It aims to make screening easier during the war in Ukraine.
This study tests whether reminders and providing an at-home sample kit can help more women complete cervical cancer screening. It may help people who have not had follow-up after a prior abnormal result or who haven’t been screened in many years.
This study tests if a self-collected sample for HPV testing works as well as standard colposcopy to prevent cervical cancer. If you've recently had an abnormal cervical cancer screening and need a colposcopy, this trial may be an option for you.
